Karroll Karroll’s Kiddie Korner l/'OUSIN KARROLL wants you to feel that you are quite at liberty at all times to kome to him with your little troubles. You will generally find him standing on the corner, just in front of the drug store. This is the place he has designated as The Kiddies’ Korner. Don’t be afraid. Just come right up to him and say, “This is your little Kousin Ruth, age 18, and very lonesome. Are you doing anything tonight?” Kousin Karroll will be glad to do what he kan for you. You will rec¬ ognize him because he will be wear¬ ing a pleasant smile. Now to start a Knight Klub. Any girl who has a couple of knights to spare can do this in her spare time and have a lot of fun. Hundreds of girls are having fun out of knight clubs— and making money, too. (The money can be used to buy teddy-bears, for the zoo of course, knight dresses or can be sent direct to the Kiddie Klub, where it will promptly be put to good use in find¬ ing out if that Bacardi Kousin Kar¬ roll heard about at $1.50 a bottle is really any good.) To start a Knight Klub all a girl has to do is know a man with $50,000 and a carefree attitude. Then, if she raids an old tool chest (it is always best to start with a raid) and fills it full of tables and chairs, potted palms and a dance floor, she is all ready to start except for the orches¬ tra and calling up that guy, whose name Kousin Karroll will gladly sup¬ ply, who has it for $1.50 a quart. About the orchestra, just get a num¬ ber of dummies who play the saxo¬ phone. As no one but a dummy would ever learn to play a saxophone, this should be easy. Place a radio behind the dummies and tune in on Ben Bernie. If any static comes through, it may either be Ben speak¬ ing or else be explained to the guests as part of the fun and carnival spirit. Now Kousin Karroll must turn to his mail, for here are hundreds of lovely letters from lots of Kousins all over the Kountry. Kousin Jose¬ phine MacDougell writes from On¬ tario, Canada to ask me when I’m coming for a long, long visit. Just as soon as ever I can, Joe; and I can so make a sentence with the word Ontario, which you bet I couldn’t do. “In dividing 2 into 3 I always put down one Ontariover the balance.” Luckily this doesn’t happen often. Dear GussiE: In reply to your sweet letter of our last date, I can only say that if you expect an answer to those questions you’ll have to enclose a stamped, self-addressed, asbestos en¬ velope. What would people think of Kousin Karroll (and you, for that matter) if they knew the truth? However, in answer to your question, “What should a nice girl wear when asked on an airplane ride?” I will say, because I think all girls should know this, that she had better wear her best jumper. Kousin Karroll is sorry to an¬ nounce that he cannot publish the letter written by Little Tootsie Bliss (age 254 in her stocking feet), of Des Moines, Iowa, which won the prize for this month, due to the fact that the government would not allow us to mail the magazine if we did. However, Little Tootsie, what you say is true and from your letter it is evident that you have a great past ahead of you. You will find a check for the prize ($.00317) in the pocket of Mortimer Gonzales, the street cleaner in front of the Post Office. Tell Mr. Gonzales Kousin Karroll sent you and he will understand. Now, Kiddies, be good for a while and Kousin Karroll will tell you next month all about how to throw an ob¬ streperous party — fun and exercise for all. — Carroll Carroll Page !)
